Information About the LM2650 Evaluation Board Rev. 1
Information About the LM2650 Evaluation Board Rev. 1
INTRODUCTION A printed circuit board (PCB) has been developed. This application note contains information about the board. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The LM2650 evaluation board is provided as a tool for developing DC/DC converters based on the LM2650 IC. It is configured for single-output, step-down DC/DC converters. Figure 1 is a complete schematic of the board which can accommodate up to 28 components including the LM2650. Table 1 is a complete list of pads for placing components. Note: Not all applications will require the placement of all 28 components. The number of components placed depends on the requirements of the application and the use of features like programmable soft-start. The LM2650 evaluation board is intended to be a reusable tool on which many different converters meeting the requirements of many different applications can be built. It is not intended to demonstrate only one application of the LM2650.
National Semiconductor AN-1071 Steven Hunt September 1997
For convenience, a sample of the LM2650 and eight other components have been assembled: a 0.1 F capacitor at each of C1, C2, C6, and CB, a 0.2 F capacitor at CVDD, a 0.01 F capacitor at CSS, a 24.9 k resistor at R2, and a 0 resistor at R4. Of the eight, the first seven are common to many applications, and the last is simply a jumper grounding the SYNC input. When the synchronization feature is not being used, the SYNC input should be grounded. EXAMPLE CIRCUITS The components contained in Tables 2, 3, and 4 can be used to build typical application circuits. As with the design of any DC/DC converter, the design of these involved tradeoffs between efficiency, size, and cost. The converters detailed in Table 2 were designed with efficiency as the number one criteria. Those detailed in Table 4 trade slightly higher switching losses for a much smaller inductor.

FIGURE 1. The LM2650 Evaluation Board Rev. 1 Schematic THERMAL PERFORMANCE The 24-lead SO package is a molded plastic package with a solid copper lead frame. Most of the heat generated at the die flows through the lead frame into the 3-ounce copper planes on the board. The board then acts as a heat sink. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the packaged IC mounted on the board has been measured to be 38C/W, 37 C/W, and 35 C/W for the dissipation of 1.0W, 1.5W, and 2.0W respectively. These measurements were made in still air. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the packaged IC alone in still air is 78C/W. The board is 0.063 thick FR-4 material. ART Figure 2 through Figure 4 show the PCB art work.

TABLE 1. A Complete List of Pads for Placing Components Label U1 C1, C2, C3, and C4 C5 # 1 4 0 For placing the LM2650. Capacitors placed here filter high-frequency switching noise from the input power rail. These pads should not be labeled with a C. No component is placed here. They can be used to ground the SLEEP LOGIC input. The pad connected to the SLEEP LOGIC pin can be used to pull the input up. A capacitor placed here also filters high-frequency switching noise from the input power rail but at the VIN rail, the rail used by the signal-level circuits inside the IC. Usually no component is placed here. A capacitor might be placed here for loop compensation purposes, but most applications don't use it. A capacitor is placed here for loop compensation purposes. The bootstrap capacitor is placed here. A capacitor is placed here for loop compensation purposes. This capacitor and an internal 6.5 k resistor create an integrator pole. The bulk input capacitors are placed here. The output filter capacitors are placed here. A capacitor placed here programs the soft-start interval. A capacitor placed here bypasses the output of the VDD regulator. The inductor is placed here. One of the feedback resistors is placed here. The other feedback resistor is placed here. A resistor is placed here for loop compensation purposes. These pads can be used to ground the SYNC input when the synchronization feature is not being used. The pad connected to the SYNC input can be used to connect the synchronization signal. The evaluation board has a 0 jumper placed here to ground the SYNC input. A resistor is also placed here for loop compensation purposes. This resistor and the capacitor placed at CC create an integrator zero. A resistor placed here adjusts the switching frequency up from the nominal 90 kHz. No component is placed here for applications switching at 90 kHz. Resistors placed here program the sleep-in threshold. Resistors placed here program the sleep-out threshold. Notes
